Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...

Also, I don't believe we'll be seeing OLED monitors any time soon. (I really would love if they made them though.)
As for OLED, it has the deepest blacks and even better viewing angle. There isn't one available on the market because they're super expensive, if you use TV's for comparison its several times the cost of high end LED, are you willing to spend close to 1k on a same sized monitor? It also doesn't refresh quite as fast and has issues with burn in (see google pixel 2 xl).
